Chapter 63: 63. What a Total Fucking Piece of Trash, LOL

Arin felt unusually chilly today, and gently rubbed her arms.

"Ha... It feels especially lonely today..."

She understood. A banquet held by a ducal house. It was supposedly on a massive scale and would last three days, wasn't it?

It was social experience too, so she hoped her husband would make plenty of connections.

She understood that rationally.

Still, without Ryu-o's warm embrace to share his warmth with her, she couldn't help but feel resentful.

"Tch... Should I have gone too?"

A faint regret briefly arose, but she shook her head and changed her mind.

Did she really need to steal away the attention directed at Ryu-o?

All she had to offer him was this body and her martial arts, so this had to have been the right choice.

"Two days... I should go see that bitch for the first time in a while. Ah, come to think of it..."

Arin groaned as she recalled Sima Yeon's Chwihyangru, which had been half destroyed.

"Ugh... She's the only one who can get that stuff..."

Well... Ryu-o was here, so it would be fine.

"Hehe♥ When he gets back, I'll make him do everything he's been putting off~♥"

Arin thought of her husband day and night.

**

My head... felt like it was splitting apart.

Sunlight slowly filtered through my squinting eyes as I frowned from the headache.

Only then did I feel the warmth.

At the sticky, thick sensation, Ryu-o turned his head.

There...

"...? ...?????!!??? Huh?"

"You're awake?"

The Duke's daughter, wearing the expression of a satisfied lioness, was naked and holding me in her arms.

They said that when you were shocked enough, you couldn't speak and all strength drained from your body... This was exactly that kind of situation.

As I merely opened and closed my mouth, the Duke's daughter gently stroked over my pounding heart.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Ha... Do you love me that much?"

Love? Huh? What was she talking about?

"My lady...?"

"...When we're alone, call me Hilda. Keep up appearances when we're outside."

Excuse me? Me? Call her by her name? Why...?

Too many questions flooded my mind.

Seeing me like that, the Duke's daughter smiled in satisfaction and rose from the bed.

Rustle...

"Ugh..."

She swayed briefly after standing, then began sweeping back her hair.

Once her golden-thread-like hair fell away, the marks on her body were laid bare.

A beautiful, fantastical nude body, like a sculpture.

And on it were bite marks, handprints, and even dried traces between her thighs...

What that meant was clear.

'I fucked up.'

I definitely remembered slapping some man's cheek yesterday, but...

What had I done after that? Drank with the nobles, drank with my companions, and then?

I had no memory whatsoever of how I had ended up having sex with the Duke's daughter.

No one else would know either—the process by which a rookie who had only just become an honorary knight and the Duke's daughter had sex within a day.

Just then, she sharply turned her head and spoke in a low voice.

"Shall we... bathe together..."

"Pardon?"

"Never mind."

Naked, she walked into the bathroom with trembling legs.

While she was gone, I tried to piece together the chain of events.

What on earth had to happen for things to end up like this?

While I was deducing the answer, the Duke's daughter returned, still damp, having dried herself off, and lay down beside me again.

Rustle...

'Wait, she's already done bathing?'

I didn't know whether she had washed incredibly quickly or whether I was still out of it.

With a faint smile, she brushed my hair back from my face.

Stroke... stroke...

"Will you go wash up?"

First... First, I should apologize.

It didn't matter whether I had pounced on her or she had pounced on me.

If I wanted to preserve my life, I had no choice but to grovel.

"I-I'm sorry, my lady... What on earth..."

Just as I was about to say that I didn't know what had happened, she placed a finger over my lips.

"Shh."

"?"

"What is there to apologize for? It will be enough for us to get to know each other from now on."

This conversation wasn't connecting.

The solution was to figure out what had happened first.

But I didn't have the nerve to tell the Duke's daughter, who bore such obvious, intense marks, that I couldn't remember.

Seeing my eyes tremble, she smiled as if she found me cute.

"Hehe. You get this nervous, yet where did that confidence come from?"

"..."

"Do you know who you dared confess your love to?"

I said I loved her?

"I said that I loved you..."

"S-stop...! I have... ahem! Something to say."

"..."

Though her eyes trembled, she stared straight at me.

Her face flushed, the Duke's daughter brought out the words she had kept hidden inside.

"It is only proper to give an answer to a confession."

"Well..."

"I think I love you too. No, I love you."

There was absolutely... absolutely no way I could say I didn't remember at this moment.

She closed her eyes slightly and lightly wrapped an arm around my neck.

"Ha..."

"Uh... mmm?????"

"Mmmwah.........♥"

An exciting kiss, gently sucking only at my lips.

She pressed her lips firmly against mine as if stamping a seal, then pulled away.

For a moment, she looked at me wistfully with a dreamy expression before speaking.

"...You absolutely... absolutely..."

Absolutely what? Huh? What?

She shook her head, then gripped my shoulders tightly.

Her expression, which had been one of sweet dreams, changed into the sharp look I had seen the first day.

"I intend to spare no support for you."

"..."

"Do not worry about the difference in our stations. I will resolve it somehow."

"Stations...?"

"Ah, of course. A marriage between a Duke's daughter and an honorary knight is unthinkable."

Her hands trembled as she squeezed my shoulders.

"But the story changes if you become a noble as well."

"..."

"You are the one who seized the greatest opportunity in this land of opportunity, Jang Ryu-o."

As if she had found an immensely important goal, the Duke's daughter widened her eyes.

Like a bird of prey chasing its quarry.

"I can make you a noble. I will not withhold any resources you need, so you..."

Her overwhelming presence made me catch my breath.

"Grow strong. No matter what anyone says, even if someone attacks you, become strong enough to stand firm... no, to endure."

Grow stronger... It was an essential requirement for reaching the end of the labyrinth, as well as my fundamental goal.

She had reminded me of what I needed to do.

"Here, the superiority of unseen power is absolute, and the words of the strong become law."

The law of the jungle. I pictured Master's proud stride, and the sight of everyone bowing and scraping before the Duke's daughter.

"Then... can any wrongdoing be forgiven?"

"Of course. Labyrinth City is a place infinitely generous to the strong. Whether that strength is power or martial might does not matter."

I see...

"..."

Her blazing eyes made it feel as though my heart had caught fire.

Thump! Thump!

"Worth. Prove your worth here—no, to the world."

Would Master... forgive me?

How should I tell her?

That I was sorry. That I loved her. That I loved several women.

If I became someone brazen enough to say such trashy things with my head held high, would she at least hear me out?

If she would not accept me, then I would cling to her even if it took the rest of my life.

I would become someone Master could not live without.

How? No. I had to do it somehow.

This alone was not enough.

I would become someone valuable to everyone.

A selfish thought, one that only served my own convenience.

Even so, instinctively realizing it was my only escape, I set my resolve ablaze.

Looking into my eyes, the Duke's daughter grinned and showered my lips with kisses.

"Smooch! How beautiful... Smooch, smooch!♥ Do you like me that much?"

"..."

The Duke's daughter, who had been overflowing with charisma, hugged me and began acting coy.

"Hehe!♥ First, accumulate a suitable amount of merit and become a baron. Don't worry. Even minor achievements can be embellished. Once you formally receive a noble title, follow me around. After that, I will take you to the imperial capital. Make a proper impression there, then earn more merit. I will create connections to the imperial family for you. If you accept requests from the imperial family, being raised in rank will happen in no time. Once you become a viscount, we can hold the ceremony then. That is practically the minimum requirement, so understand. Any lower, and there will be objections from my family... Mm... Smooch!♥"

I blankly watched the Duke's daughter chatter away in my arms, imagining a happy future.

"Once you become a viscount, what comes after will be up to you... But Jang Ryu-o, you can do it. Ah, and do not worry about children... The finest staff will raise them with all their heart. So..."

As she lightly kissed my lips, she began moving her tongue with awkward inexperience.

"Mmmwah...♥ Mmh♥ Haa... haa...♥ Mmh...♥♥♥♥"

With damp eyes, she stared blankly at me.

"Hurry... rise up... I'll make you happy♥"

I was losing my mind because this cold-blooded beauty was blushing and wanting me like this.

A frightening older woman who was normally forceful, yet only melted before me.

I didn't want to lose her more than anything.

I hated the thought of this woman going to another man enough to die.

Spring! Thump! Squeeze♥

Ah, but this is a little... Why has it been like this lately...? Ha... This is seriously driving me crazy.

Hilda wore a blissful expression, then slowly shifted her eyes.

"...♥ You will not engage in such undignified behavior outside, will you?"

Flinch!

With nothing to say, I tightly shut my mouth.

"Ha! Do not worry. Even a man like this... I-I love you. I can embrace all of you."

Slurp, slurp... smack smack smack smack smack!

"Ugh... Wait..."

"Oh? Are you really the same man as yesterday? I have experience now too, so I will not lose. Ngh..."

Holding it in her hand, Hilda began gently guiding it inside.

Pushhh...♥

"Hngh...♥ C-crazy... N-now that I'm sober, it feels a little better. Before the banquet begins..."

Thrust♥

"Hyaang! Ngh! I'll, I'll take care of it quickly. Do not be embarrassed—"

Gulp, gulp!

"Hyaaaang~♥ W-wait! How dare a knight go—♥ Haaang~♥ Waiiit~♥"

Seeing Hilda, who was far too adorable to refuse, I fucked her hard, driving my hips like a madman.
